There is actually danger in dying so its not just a little gold and a spell

The idea is sound, but the implementation is extremely fluffy.

Devils are insufficiently described for the DM to have any idea whether a Devil could ever consider "In one year, you may have my soul if you beat me at a fiddling contest" to be a good deal or not.

The Reaper method is just "You should totally feel guilty about this revival because now The King/This Innocent Orphan/Your Mother is dead because of you." That's only serious if you take it seriously.

I like the idea to a point but I think that seeing as there are ways for the player to have souls bound to them they should be able to offer that up to the "Devil" or "Reaper" as the payment for revival.

I like it in principle, except that the srs bsns ways of bringing someone back involve giving up either your own soul or some random person's soul. No offering up bound souls? It doesn't turn revival into a momentous thing so much as it turns it into a thing you would never want to do ever.

It's an interesting way to make battles more serious. I like the concept behind this, but a also find the thought of a "revolving door" afterlife amusing as well.

I might try this in a one-shot campaign sometime in the future.
